Is it possible to build a fast, accurate scale using QTC? If so, could someone explain the basics or point me toward a good resource? Thanks!
What current applications are you referring to that require precision?FinanclEngr said:However given the importance of precision in some of qtc's current applications this seems unlikely..
Baluncore said:Before designing a new product that employs QTCs, you should specify your requirements and consider off-the-shelf earlier technologies that have been proven reliable. Focusing on an unproven new technology is a distraction, it will delay product launch and lead to failure in the market place. Dreams are ten a penny.

Yes, I designed and built load cells in the 1980s.Mike_In_Plano said:Do you know how labor and machine intensive it is to build a load cell?
Quantum Tunneling Composite is a type of material that exhibits unique electrical conductivity properties due to quantum tunneling phenomena.
QTC is made up of conductive particles embedded in a non-conductive matrix. When a force is applied to the material, the particles move closer together, allowing electrons to tunnel through the gaps between the particles, resulting in increased electrical conductivity.
QTC has a wide range of applications, including pressure sensors, touch screens, switches, and strain gauges. It is also used in the aerospace and defense industries for its high sensitivity and reliability.
QTC has several advantages, including its low power consumption, high durability, and ability to be easily molded into different shapes and sizes. It is also resistant to environmental factors such as temperature and moisture.
While QTC has many benefits, it also has some limitations. It is not suitable for high current applications and can experience degradation over time due to particle aggregation. Additionally, it is more expensive than traditional materials, making it less accessible for certain applications.
